Although we, of Esmeralda County,
are not directly interested in Hum
boldt river, we would still be pleased
TO see Mr.. Griswold's bill, protecting
the fish in that stream, pass. 1t 10 we'll
to set the example anywhere, and
whatever benefits any portion of the
State, to some extent, at least, benefits
all.
Mr.. Wilson has introduced bill to
encourage the growth of forest trees,
II provides an annual bounty for trees
that are successfully grown for three
years. This bounty is ten dollars an
acre or ten dollars for every half mile
of trees along any public highway.
The trees to stand not less than one
rod apart. The bill excerpts cotton.
woods and willows planted along
bitches for the purpose Of strengthen.
ing the embankments. 1t provides that
the planting may begin within ten
years, and that the bounty shall con.
tinue tor twentv years after such plant
ing. 1t would seem as though PEG.
pie would see their own interest and
set out trees, without reward, but they
do not, and the State can afford to pay
well for groves OF forest trees.
This Legislature 10 looking out for
the interests OF the cattle.men. A bill
has been introduced providing for the
appointment of Roundup Commits
sioners in each county, who shall have
charge of the annual round.ups.
There is much discussion over the
bill to establish IN Industrial school.
1t provides for the care of bad boys
who commit crimes punishable by law
and makes 1t optional with Justices
of the Peace, to commit to the school,
or sentence according to Statute. In.
dustrial or Reform schools are settled
institutions of nearly al! tho older
States, and seem to have borne the test
Of time, still many argue that their
influence for good Is not commensu.
rate with their cost. Others contend
that the commitment of boy TO Jail
insures life of crime. On the whole,
1t looks as though the economists are
q little short in their accounts and that
the school would be good thing for
the State.
A bill introduced by Mr.. Fish rela-
tive to chat.el mortgages is of interest
to SO many, that although rather long
